Hanging in Jackson Square...

Thanks Team New Orleans Pet Care!





Coming...

Give me 10 minutes!




Pass the sun block and cat nip!

Beautiful outside!






Heading to French Quarter Fest with the pups?

A few things to keep in mind...

A client just reminded me of this... You can't bring dogs into the square or in to the space at Harrahs.

Cabrini Dog Park is @ Barracks & Dauphine (off leash) and can be a great place to play... It is not a members park so anyone is welcome. It can get a little "interesting" so you may want to observe before you let your baby in to play.

Chiwawa Gaga is a great little pet store @ 511 Dumaine Street.

Pirates Alley Cafe is a fantastic dog friendly restaurant located @ 622 Pirates Alley - next door to St. Louis Cathedral.

Have a great time! Mine two are staying home (to loud, huge crowd makes me nervous!)... Mommy is going to play!




How cute are these 2?!

My dream client...

Amelia Update...

I am thrilled to announce that baby Amelia has found a forever home. We are all so excited for her and her new Daddy.

Matthew, Rebecca and Heidi - thanks for saving her. Matthew - you are amazing!

Sawyer & Buzi - thank you for fostering her and letting her TT in your house, chew Buzi's ears, keep y'all up, torture the cats, etc... She is growing into a fine little girl and we could not have done this without you.

Helen - You are amazing... your connections are amazing! Thanks so much for this connection.

Amelia's Daddy - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you... You have given her a life that she could have never had. She is so blessed.

It is a great day y'all!


Presents!

Happy Dance!

Side note... I need some bloomers!

Look at our new baby...

She and Barb were checking each other out!

Baby B, my finger and Barb's legs!

Heads up Garden District Clients

Our big male Tabby cat, "Tiger," has disappeared. PLEASE let us know if you have seen him. Three children (and one mom) miss him dearly!! He is microchipped, but has lost his collar. He has a big tummy- weighs about 16 pounds! jysundell@cox.net

She is camera shy!

Amelia Update...

Yesterday Amelia, Sawyer and I met a prospective Daddy in the park. We were playing with a toy before he arrived... I love little ones - attention span of a flea!

Keep your fingers crossed... we may have a Daddy for her y'all. We LOVE him and think he loves her too. I will keep you posted. Cross your paws!

Save the date y'all!

SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20

NOLACity Bark will host its second "101 Donations" fundraiser at the Pavillion of the Two Sisters in City Park. Our goal is to raise $60,000 to be used for the installation of lights and irrigation.

Mark your calendar for an evening of food, drink, music and a fantastic auction.

Exciting Public Art Celebration ~ LA/SPCA

The LA/SPCA is excited to launch a new public art celebration. Modeled after many successful New Orleans public art projects in recent years including: A Streetcar Named Inspire and Festival of Fins, this project will feature the Mardi Gras Bead Dog® (design and mold donated byHaydel’s Bakery).This iconic symbol of New Orleans' favorite holiday expresses the LA/SPCA's mission to advocate for the animals in this region. Paws on Parade will be rolling through the streets of New Orleans in 2012 from Mardi Gras through the summer.

What is a Mardi Gras Bead Dog®?

A tradition among generations of New Orleanians, children create Bead Dogs from discarded Mardi Gras throws. A few twists and turns transform a necklace of beads into a fun trinket to enjoy. Haydel’s Bakery adopted the Mardi Gras Bead Dog® as their mascot and has graciously donated the sculpture’s mold to promote the LA/SPCA’s

Press Release from LASPCA - Sounds like a great event!

For Immediate Release:

What: Fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House and LA/SPCA at the Grand Opening party for The Rock n Roll Café

When: April 15th, 16th, and 17th

Who: Music lovers, local band members, celebrities, politicians, the media, and anyone who wants to have a great time while supporting 2 great causes!

Where: 3401 N. Hullen, Metairie, LA 70002

JOIN us for the Grand Opening Weekend Bash of the new Rock N Roll Café with radio icon Scoot in the Morning, while helping out the Ronald McDonald House (a place where families of out-of-town hospitalized children can stay for a very low cost) and LA/SPCA (a private non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of animal suffering). The Rock n Roll Café is an all age’s venue, with a full menu and bar that caters to what New Orleans does best – celebrate music! A percentage of sales from the opening weekend as well as donations at the door will be given to both charities. In addition, representatives from each will be at The Rock n Roll Café to provide information to interested parties and raise awareness of their mission.

The grand opening weekend will consist of live music all three days – Ukulele Jake and Grunge Factory on Friday from 6-10, The Beachhouse Allstars 7:30-9 on Saturday, and Flashback and Eight OH 7 from 5-9 on Sunday. All of the bands will be doing unplugged, acoustic shows, which are a rarity, and gives the bands a chance to show off their skills and do something different from their routine shows.

New Orleans’ own “Scoot in the Morning”, is the iconic radio personality behind this whole concept. When Scoot in the Morning moved back to New Orleans recently, he had the idea of recognizing and celebrating local bands. The Rock n Roll Café features well- known local bands playing acoustic/light electric shows on Wednesday nights at 8pm. In addition, there will be another night in which teens and younger children can showcase their musical skills in a safe, all ages venue. Various other attractions and events that are nowhere to be found in New Orleans will be held at The Rock n Roll Café throughout the coming year.

Memorabilia from local bands will adorn the walls. Currently there are items from The Molly Ringwalds, Cowboy Mouth, The Topcats, Bag of Donuts, and 5 Finger Discount, just to name a few. The Rock n Roll Café is set to become THE place for local bands, fans, and others who are just looking to hang out in a place that is like no other!

The Rock N Roll Café will be the late-night spot for food and beverages AFTER bands finish shows on Friday and Saturday nights.

Please join us for the Grand Opening Weekend of The Rock n Roll Café, while supporting two great causes, on April 15, 16 and 17th. Scoot in the Morning is available for interviews and can be reached at (504) 617-0584 or through Ashley Belding at (504) 232-9242.

Hours:

Sunday-Thursday: 11am-12am

Friday-Saturday: 11am-5am

Protect Your Pets From Easter and Springtime Hazards


Ah, spring. It is nice to have a little color after a long winter. Easter and springtime decorations (and edibles) liven the scenery, but also pose a potential hazard to pets. Who knew that plastic Easter grass could be dangerous? Article...

Wild Coyote in the Audubon, Upper Hurstville & TwinBrook area - HEADS UP Y'ALL!

Uptown Neighbors: Please note the following from our NOPP patrols:


Wild Coyote in the Audubon, Upper Hurstville, and TwinBrook area:

I received a call from a resident in the 6000 block of Garfield, and was informed that some neighbors told her they seen a wild coyote going in her back yard. As I was sitting on State St. at Garfield writing a report the coyote appeared I followed it until it left the area on Camp heading toward Jefferson. I notified NOPD , Audubon Park Security, and called Charles Parker Wildlife removal @ (504) 338-7517 and informed them of the situation.
Capt. Baldassaro



FYI- a coyote has no qualms about killing a cat or a dog and can probably take on all but the largest canine breeds (say, German Shepherds and larger). This is a real problem for the ‘hood ‘til the animal gets caught (or shot). Humans are rarely attacked but I cannot speak for this particular coyote!
